Jack Reacher used that trick. He asked someone how he could speak for a minute without using the letter "a". The answer was to just start counting.

Santa you're right. I remember in whatever grade they drilled it in our heads that it's not a hundred its one hundred.

In English, when you say "and" you're implying a decimal point. One hundred and five would be 100.5 written out

I'm from fucking England and we say "hundred AND five" etc. If we were sayig decimals, we'd say "hundred POINT five" Are you disabled or something? AND never means decimal point.

No, when you say and you're actually putting a decimal so it would be 900.99

Do you say "minus 1" when talking about negative numbers?

Is the 'and' standing for a decimal an American thing, I've never heard anyone say 101 as one hundred-one, it's always "one hundred and one", if it was 100.1, it would be said "one hundred point one".

In America, you would usually say "point" for a decimal, you are correct. But "one hundred AND one" could be interchanged with "one hundred one." Where I live, most people omit the "and" but both ways are correct.
